He is
53 NY US US and drives a taxi. His wife Nellie Foster
is 52 IL and they have Helen 17 IL still at home. They have been here since
1910, but I donÕt find him in 1900 so not sure who his folks are. A family
sheet says he was born in Syracuse, New York May 10, 1886, and will die here in
Decatur July 1, 1945, but no other info. The following George Putnam is his
brother. See that listing for his folks Ward Putman and Margaret Pritz. Nellie was born April 14, 1888 and will die here in
Decatur in March 1971.

GEORGE PUTNAMDecatur, Macon County

He is
45 NY US US. His wife Pearl Holcomb is 41 IA and they
have Willard 20 IL and Lyle 15 IL. They have a foster daughter Janet Thompson 8
IL. He just pops up here in 1910 married and everything. According to his
tombstone he was born June 27, 1884. His death certificate states his father
was Ward Putnam and his mother was Margaret Pritz and
he was born in Syracuse, Onondaga County New York. CanÕt find them though.
There was a Ward Putnam in Cicero, Onondaga County near Syracuse in 1880. He
was single age 21 and in 1870 was in De Witt, Onondaga County living with
Alanson and Sophia Putman his folks. Must be him and if so they are on the New
York Dutch Putman line. He is a city fireman. He will die here January 7, 1944.
The above Fred is his brother and he listed him person to contact on his Draft
Registration in 1942. He also wrote that his middle initial was ÔEÕ and did not

John, born in New York, just popped up in 1910 and I canÕt find in 1900 so
donÕt know the line. His name was spelled Putman so probably on the Dutch Line.

LUCILLE PUTMANDecatur, Macon County

OLIVER L. (LEWIS) PUTNAMHarvard,
Chemung Township, McHenry County

He is 67 NY and his wife Mary
Estella Crumb is 64 WI. He was here in 1900 with his widowed mother Kate.
There is a birth record stating Oliver was born in Canajoharie, Montgomery
County New York May 18, 1873 and his father was Mr. Putnam and mother Kate
Parr. So I looked in the 1880 census in Canajoharie County and found This
Listing: ŌWILLIAM PUTMANCanajoharie,
Montgomery County. He is 53 NY, Catherine 43 NY and Albert 7 NY. He may be the
guy here single in 1870, but the age is off. Obviously just married in the past
decade.Ķ So age is perfect for Kate who is 64 NY in 1900. The writing was bad
in the 1880 and I thought it said Albert, but itÕs Oliver and he was 7 NY in
1880 and 27 NY in 1900 so thatÕs his family and obviously Dutch Poutman coming from Montgomery County.

listed as Mary K. Putman. The family tree shows 3 wives, kids with each but all
marked Ôprivate.Õ The following listing for his brother Ralph gives a ÔroughÕ
idea about who he is and about his parents and that his last name is really Bakkala not Putman.

RALPH PUTMANMoline, Rock Island County

He is
27 ND, his wife Irene Elizabeth Carlin is 23 IL and they have Terry 2 IL. Ralph
Edward Putman is a son of Edward Putman and Ellen Rachel Partlow
and was born in Kensal, Stutsman County North Dakota July 7, 1912. His folks
were married in James, North Dakota December 2, 1911. Now gets interesting. He
really isnÕt a Putman except that was a name his dad changed to. Ralph was in
Stutsman County through 1925 and then the family was in Winchester, Norman
County Minnesota in 1930. Then the family moved over here in
the mid 1930s and were here by 1935. A relative says that on July 28,
1937 in Moline, Illinois Ed shot and killed his wife and then shot and killed
himself. There was a note ŌShe was shot by her husband, Ed Putnam, who then
shot himself. He had been drinking. Ellen had a restraining order saying he was
not to come near the house because he had been abusive in the past. He broke in
through the basement and shot her.Ķ I donÕt know his folks except their
names were Matthew W. Bakkala and LytiBakkala from Finland. I found his WWI Draft
Registration card. It states he was born in Watertown, Codington County, South
Dakota on November 15, 1888. At the time he was 28 so the card was filed in
1917 and he then lived in Kensal, North Dakota. He had a farm in Kensal,
Stutsman County with a wife and one son. They were in the North Dakota 1915 and
1925 Censuses. I canÕt find them in 1920 yet. Ralph was born July 6, 1912 and

flew out there to see him about 1998 and it was great. His sight was about gone
and he had stopped doing genealogy. Then he married a gal named Anne and moved
south, and I lost touch. Then in January 2006, I got an e-mail from his
granddaughter who had stumbled on my web site and called Warren and then wrote
me that he was in Athens, Georgia. I called him and it was the same
enthusiastic guy I knew. He was 78, all sorts of physical problems but still
having a great time. He is back in the Peoria Heights area as of 2012, but not
doing that great. Dutch family originally from New York

He then headed North and married Cora in Chicago April
2, 1913. They were in Chicago when he registered for the draft in 1917. Then I
guess he was in New Jersey maybe to see his grandparents or maybe stationed
there for WWI. In 1920 though they were in Detroit Michigan and thatÕs where he
first used the name William. He is a Parcel Post carrier for the Government as
he was in 1930. Cora was born in Chicago January 7, 1891 and will die here in

Township, Tazewell County

He is
70 IL IN PA and single as he was here in 1930. In 1930 he was a molder at an
iron foundry, but is retired or at least out of work now. I first find him in
1910 in Richwoods, Peoria County living with his
remarried and now widowed mother ÔMrs. Fred Fisher 59 PAÕ. I donÕt find him in
1880 or 1900 so no ideas as to daddy. The census
record in 1910 was IL IN PA, but Fred Fisher was born in Indiana so maybe his
real dad was or maybe not.

JAMES PUTNAMWashington Township, Tazewell County

He is
29 IL and his wife Jane 26 IL. He is a life insurance salesman and she is a
clerk in a book store. They were in Peoria in 1935.
Best guess is in 1920 in Peoria Eva McLaughlin Putnam had a son James D. 10 IL.
I donÕt find them in 1910 so no ideas on her husband
and they werenÕt around in 1930. Good Luck, nothing on Ancestry.

a County in the middle of Illinois on the Indiana border. Champaign County

the Southern Putman family came from Virginia to Kentucky and then split. One
family went into Champaign County Ohio and then Clark County Ohio and then over
here. Another went into Illinois and here. In several towns, especially in the

some Putnam guy and then married Joseph Wilson and they were in Grand Decatur
Township, Ogle County in 1900 and I guess he was using the last name Wilson
till he moved out on his own in the 1920s. His mom died in 1929 and his stepdad
in 1930. Still no ideas on his real dad, but everyone in Ogle County then were on the New York Dutch line and
that would be why he spells his name Putman.
